Sprinting tires you out, so use it in moderation. Also, you cannot fire your weapon while sprinting. Jumping also detracts from your sprint bar. However, you can still jump with a completely depleted sprint bar. Only certain primary weapons have more than one fire mode. As a special ops soldier, for example, you can toggle your assault rifle between single-shot (indicated by a "1" in the lower-right corner of the screen) and automatic fire modes (an "A" in the lower-right corner).

Zipline
Sometimes being exposed on a rooftop isnt the best thing. To get down to the safety and cover of the ground in a hurry, use your zipline. Aim your crossbow at the ground and left-click to fire the bolt. (If your target icon becomes an X within a circle, it means your target is out of range.) Press E to zip down the line. Like the grappling hook, you can press G to gather up the zipline for re-use. The zipline is available in the Battlefield 2: Special Forces Sniper and Special Forces kits.

Stun the enemy with this concussion grenade. Any enemy within range of the grenades blinding blast sees white just long enough for you to get the drop on them. Flash bang grenades are especially effective against enemies wearing night vision goggles. Flash bang grenades are available in the Battlefield 2: Special Forces Assault kit.

whatS new
Special Forces lead the way in the secret war for control of the worlds most strategic locations. Join the worlds most elite and deadly forces: Navy Seal, SAS, Russian Spetsnaz, MEC Special Forces, Rebel, or Insurgent, each with its own arsenal and tactics. Capture key tactical points and then use the new trigger system (press E) to strategically open and close gates, doors, and more. Battlefield 2: Special Forces takes all-out modern warfare behind the scenes for the battles you dont see on the nightly news.

tear gaS
Shoot a tear gas canister into a group of enemies to confuse and disorient them (unless theyre wearing gas masks!). They cough, their vision blurs, and they are unable to sprint. The effects are temporary, so dont waste any time taking them down! Tear gas is available in the Battlefield 2: Special Forces Support kit.

note: For general gameplay information, including playing online, please refer to the
manual for the base Battlefield 2 game.

weaponS
With authentic Special Forces firearms, a full arsenal of technologically advanced gadgets, and night-fighting stealth tactics, the covert armies give you even more weapons in your fight for the new world order. In addition to new assault rifles, machine guns, and other firearms, the new armies also feature these Special Forces weapons:

night viSion goggleS

See in the dark. All kits in Battlefield 2: Special Forces come equipped with night vision goggles. To turn the goggles on, press 7. The world turns green, and enemy troops in the dark are revealed by their heat signature. The night vision goggles only last a limited amount of time before they must be recharged.

grappling hook
Virtually no rooftop is inaccessible when you have this portable ladder with you. Target a ledge and left-click to throw the hook full force, then press E to climb. The hook is portable as welljust face the hook and press G to gather it up and take it with you. Left-clicking throws the hook full force. You can alternatively hold the right mouse button to charge your throw and release the mouse button to throw the hook. The grappling hook is available in the Battlefield 2: Special Forces Assault and AntiTank kits. You can also drop a rope from above to allow other players to climb up to your position. Click the right mouse button near the edge of any rooftop to drop the rope.

gaS maSk
If an enemy shoots a tear gas canister into your midst, press 8 in a hurry to put on your gas mask.

vehicleS
Take control of the latest advanced vehicles on land, in the air, and at sea.

pickUp trUck
Even with all those advanced military vehicles at your disposal, you might find yourself in a situation where a civilian pickup truck is your best bet for getting out of a tight spot.

attack helicopterS
Two new attack helicoptersone American, one Russianenter the fray. Both come equipped with powerful rockets for taking out enemy armor. The American Longbow attack helicopter is excellent in close combat situations, while the Russian Hind model makes a worthy adversary against it.

deSert raider
This lightweight 4x4 vehicle is ideal for desert reconnaissance, surveillance, and escort missions. With its multiple mounted machine guns, however, it is also an offensive force to be reckoned with.

atv
The ATV is an understated but versatile battlefield presence. The compact size of this one-person, four-wheel-drive cycle allows it to navigate obstacles that might stop larger profile vehicles.

hmmvw with tow

This four-wheel drive vehicle sacrifices its roof-mounted machine gun for a TOW (tube launched, optically tracked, wire-guided) missile launcher. With its powerful engine it can conquer most types of terrain, from steep slopes to deep sand.

Bmp3
This Russian armored personnel carrier has a main gun that fires 100 mm small tank rounds and a small machine gun for eliminating troops. It is amphibious, allowing it to traverse various terrains quickly.

Jet Ski
Zoom over water from hotspot to hotspot on this one-man maritime transport vehicle. With its speed and maneuverability, the jet ski is great for lightning-quick strikes and swift getaways.

civilian car
Dont settle for walking. Get to the action in a hurry by commandeering a civilian car. In times of war, some laws are bound to be broken.

mapS
Engage in covert action on eight new maps for single- and multiplayer play. Devils Perch Navy Seals attempt to drive MEC Special Forces from their base on an Island off the coast of Lebanon. Spetsnaz forces clash with the SAS in a deserted oil town on the Caspian Sea. MEC Special Forces raiding an American naval base in the Persian Gulf go up against Navy Seals. Spetsnaz troops are sent in to shut down a Rebel chemical weapons facility in southern Russia. MEC Special Forces launch an attack on an American aircraft carrier swarming with Navy Seals. The SAS must stop Insurgents from bringing an abandoned Syrian airport back online in a deadly night battle. Spetsnaz forces attempt to sabotage a Rebel missile launch site in Kazakhstan. Insurgents and SAS forces square off at a warlords compound in Fallujah, Afghanistan.
